This wonderful location also joins a prestigious group of areas around the world that are certified International Dark-Sky Reserves and the park has been awarded as Dark Sky Friendly by Cranborne Chase National Landscape International Dark Sky Reserve, where you can see the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy, if the clouds allow!
The lodge is only 20 minutes from the New Forest National Park, famous for its ponies, and it borders Martin Down National Nature Reserve. the latter is known for its wildlife, rare flowers and butterflies. The Jubilee Trail crosses from border to border across Dorset and there is direct access to many miles of stunning footpaths, bridleways and cross-country cycling around the hamlet of Pentridge.
Although the lodge is set in a quiet countryside location, you are only 40 minutes from the glorious sandy beaches of the south coast and the fossils of the Jurassic Coast.

Lovely quiet location, no local amenities which was fine with us, we found a couple of nice pubs whilst we were out and about. Lodge was clean and had everything we needed. Loved the hot tub 😄 Would suggest some seating outside, more comfortable than the picnic table.
